Summary

By introducing nucleon short-range correlations and summing inelastic shadowing by the dipole representation [1], the cross sections for a variety of diffractive processes in proton-nucleus scattering, associated with large gaps in rapidity, are calculated at the energies of HERA-B, RHIC and LHC [2, 3]. IWhereas Gribov inelastic shadowing makes nuclear matter more transparent, nucleon correlations act in the opposite direction.
